Dr Hook Queen Of The Silver Dollar Lyrics

Queen Of The Silver Dollar Lyrics

She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne

And the jesters, they flock around her, and they fight to win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home



She arrives in all her splendour every night at nine o'clock

And her chariot is a cross-town bus that stops right down the block

The ol' piano minstrel plays a song as she walks in

And the queen of the Silver Dollar, she's home again



She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home



Her royal gown is a satin dress, that's stained and slightly torn

And her sparkling jewels are rhinestones, and her shoes are scuffed and worn

From the many roads she's travelled and the wonderous sights she's seen

And I watch her and I pray God save the queen



She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home



The queen of the Silver Dollar is not as haughty as she seems

She was once an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams

But I found her and I won her, and I brought her to this world

Yes I'm the man who made a queen of a simple country girl



She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom

And her sceptre is a wine glass and a bar-stool is her throne

And the jesters flock around her, and fight to win her favours

And see which one will take the queen of the Silver Dollar home



She's the queen of the Silver Dollar, and she rules this smokey kingdom.......
